How big will 500cc's make me?

At size 34 AA each 100 cc’s of implant
corresponds to 1 cup size change. To go
to a full B or small C would require approximately 200 cc implants. I always recommend small round textured
silicone gel implants placed retro-pectoral since they look and feel more
natural, are more stable, less likely to ripple or have complications needing
revision. Implant profile is irrelevant
in the retro-pectoral position since the muscle compresses it. Unfortunately, you have not provided any
photographs but I recommend a new technique called Breast Augmentation with
Mini Ultimate Breast LiftTM.
Using only a circumareola incision it is possible to reshape your breast
tissue creating upper pole fullness, elevate them higher on the chest wall and
more medial to increase your cleavage.
Through the same incision, implants can be placed. Aligning the areola, breast tissue and
implant over the bony prominence of the chest wall maximizes anterior
projection with a minimal size implant. I
would not recommend saline implants since rippling is more frequent and you
have very little padding from your existing breast tissue.Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.

I would recommend that you use a sizer session to help guide you.  We use the mentor sizing system and have found it to be very reliable in helping patietns see what various sized implants will look like after surgery.  600cc is a very large implant

Thank you for your question. Without photos it is difficult to make a recommendation. In general, 150-200cc is a cup size. If you want to be a a B or small C cup, you need a 300-400cc implant. This, assuming that you have a normal rib cage and no breast bone deformity. I have patients try on sizers during the consultation to give them an idea about size in relation to the hips. See other board certified plastic surgeons for another opinion. Good luck.

There is no way to guarantee a particular bra size. Bra sizing varies greatly between bra manufacturers and a C in one bra will be a D in another. What matters more than the assigned bra size is the way the implant looks on you. The best option for your body and aesthetic goals can be determined in a thorough implant sizing session.Implant sizing depends on several factors. One of the most important factors is your breast width. Generally, your surgeon will measure your breast width, and then provide you with a range of implant sizes appropriate for your native breast size. There are more nuances to it than just what I've described, but this approach works for most women.I usually have my patients bring in a large bra and a tight t-shirt to do sizing. I'll then choose 3-4 implants that I feel are appropriate, and have my patients place them in the bra under the tight t-shirt. My patients can then look in the mirror and get a good sense of what they will look like with the provided implant sizes. My patients like this approach and get a great idea of how they will look.By using this technique, your surgeon can outline a range of appropriate implant sizes that will be aesthetically pleasing, and you make the final decision.I hope this helps. Good luck!

can easily be achieved with external sizers or 3-D imaging.  The sizers are much easier to manage and you could do this at home using 2 cups of rice in a nylon stocking to simulate a 480 cc sizer which is close to the 500 cc size your doctor is suggesting.  You are a tall patient and height allows for more volume, provided you have adequate tissues to cover the implants.  If the 2 cups isn't' good enough for you, consider more volume but also understand the risks of going larger.  And how bad is your 'concaved' sternum?  It will have  tendency to allow your implants to slide more medial.
